Savannah man shot, arrested

Antonio Deandra Jasper

A Savannah man shot in a gunfight that broke out after a car stopped in the Nottingham area of Savannah’s southside Saturday evening has been arrested on several charges.

Antonio Deandra Jasper, 20, was transported to the Chatham County jail where he was being held on charges of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and three warrants for contempt of court, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.

Savannah-Chatham violent crimes detectives said he was one of four passengers in a car that stopped in the 7200 block of Garfield Street where he exited the vehicle and began firing into it, hitting one man and a house behind the car. An occupant of the car fired back.

Jasper was taken by a family member to Memorial University Medical Center for treatment.

Miller said Jasper's wound was not life-threatening.

Metro detectives continue to investigate the shooting. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
